Google Play in App excessive purchases

Options
Ive been suffering with mental heath issues and found solace in play vegas friends on google play store 
However since November til now ive made 840 transactions and spent £3400 it made me so addicted i couldn't sleep just wanted to play.
Now ive got total remorse and devasted and ashamed. 
I contacted google support and explained my situation and tried to claim a refund but However these have been rejected 
Ive asked my bank for help stating this should of flagged up excessive spending with a total of 840 transactions but they declined to help
I have seeked help from a local mental health team and start my councilling next week.
I dont know what to do or where to turn for help 

Thanks

    Honestly - so many of us have been in similar positions

    Can't see how you're going to get anything back from them - so now to concentrate repaying the money depending on whether it's credit card/overdraft or from your savings

    I wish you luck with getting your mental health back on track. Unfortunately I cannot see you being in any way entitled to a refund for this spending.
